Synopsis: In reality they all lived in a kind of hieroglyphic world, where the real thing was never said or done or even thought, but only represented by a set of arbitrary signs.

Newland Archer, a prominent lawyer and heir to an illustrious family in 1870s upper class New York City, is engaged to be married to a modest young woman named May Welland. An enigmatic cousin, Ellen Olenska, visits his family, and despite his commitment to May, Newland finds himself attracted more and more to the thirty year old Ellen, and the time spent with Ellen begins to erode his confidence with his marriage plans to May.

With The Age of Innocence, Edith Wharton draws upon her own experiences to create a moving story that challenged the standards as set by old New York high society in the mid and late 19th century. With The Age of Innocence’s publication, Edith Wharton won the prestigious Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1921.
